How does the Dark Brotherhood work? I've done the quest for the Orphan and returned to him, but that was a while ago. I've received a mysterious message - a piece of paper with a black hand on it - but that's all. Do I need to sleep to get the quest to progress? Thanks, everyone for the information in Enchanting. I've been selling things but I'll kee the enchanted stuff now and "collect" regular weapons when I see them. How about an Enchantment trainer? Is there one anywhere?
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Hagatha, I haven't done that yet so I'm no help. I think there is an enchantment trainer in the Wizard's School up north, but I think I remember he was extremely expensive.

AnneG--OMG! lol
You know I might use this if then the actual marriage part of the game was better. I've seen several other handsome dudes I wouldn't mind hooking up with, but it would just be the same thing, darn it.
Maybe someone will get on the ball and make a good marriage mod for us soon---cross your fingers!

Hagatha, answer under the spoiler: Next time you sleep in a bed, you will be contacted by the dark brotherhood. On a separate note, does anyone know if I can clean up that house I bought in Windhelm? The skellies and the blood are really offputting.

I know there was an option from the steward, Smoosh, to clean up the mess in that house. For a price, of course.

Okay, I have a major issue with Enchanting; specifically that I can't rename the item I am enchanting. Or rather, I can rename it, but if I do I'm stuck in the enchant screen forever, going in circles.
Here's what happens: I select my item, no problem, I select the enchantment, no problem, I select the filled soul gem, no problem. I hit the "f" key to rename the item, no problem. Except that once I have typed the new name, I can't get out of the renaming screen, because when I hit the "R" key to create the item, it thinks I'm adding the "R: to the name I am creating, and so it just types an "R" at the end of the new item name. And so on, ad nauseum. I can't tell the game to get the heck out of the naming screen and back into the item creation screen without losing my new name.
Can anyone help?

Hagatha, I've never tried to rename...I will give it ago and get back to you but it most likely will be tomorrow as my head is snapping. It hurts when my forehead hits the desk, so off to bed I go.

Can anyone help? I just did it and after you rename the weapon you have to hit return and then you can hit the "r" key to enchant the item.

I had to reload from an earlier save because apparently if you upgrade the Living Room, the option to clean up the mess disappears. But it's all squeaky clean now and I'm very happy with my new home.

Thanks Oldman, I was just getting ready to load up and check.
Smoosh, so glad it's sparkly now. I wonder if the stewart would arrange to clean up my house?

I just had this great little random moment in the game. I was in Windhelm, in the market area, and I was checking through some barrels that were near the market stalls. I found some salt piles in one and I took them. Then, from just a few feet away from me I hear one woman say "Was she just sifting through the trash?" And then another woman said in reply "Well, sometimes it pays to check every nook and cranny."
I love this game.

Something seems to have gone awry with entering the College of Mages. The first time I went there, I had to cast Fear and didn't have the spell, I went and bought it, but then it turned out I didn't have nearly enough Magica. I went away levelled some more, and came back. Now she doesn't offer the test, and the marker is gone for where I have to cast the spell. Can you get timed out of this test? I really need to get in there, but I've played for a whole day now and no way can I retrace my steps. Also, every time I get to the College, a dragon comes by, which is very annoying. Is that supposed to happen?

Hagatha, I think the dragons are random, though I've noticed more of them at night. Is it daytime when you are trying to go there? I didn't have any problem getting in there, but I have noticed that the one time I was there while a dragon was around, no one would talk to me.

Hi everyone. I'm having a weird issue tonight and was hoping that maybe someone else had figured out how to fix it. I'm doing the Theives Guild quest where you go into Irkngthand with Karliah and Brynjolf (who is really cute btw!) and everything's fine until we get to the sanctuary. When I open the door I can hear Mercer speaking to Karliah, but I can't see him, and then I just become frozen on that ledge, unable to jump down. Then I'm just sort of stuck, and so I checked the wiki to get the console codes to see if I might move the quest along that way, but even though I received updates saying "Skeleton Key found" or whatever, nothing actually happened in that room. Now I'm not sure how to get out of there or how to get the quest moving, and so I'd LOVE some help!  Thanks so much guys, Tracy

Tracy, I found the 2 fixes in Wiki...did you try them both?
I found lots of videos indicating folks had problems being stuck underwater, but not being stuck on the ledge like you are.

They sure are! Can't wait for whatever new Skyrim patches are coming out--hopefully they'll fix some of these little irksome issues. Tracy

I recently ran into a very annoying glitch myself. After wandering around killing dragons for a while, I got a random message telling me, out of the blue, to return to Esbern. When I found him, standing gormlessly at the edge of a cliff, all he kept saying was the same line over again, and I couldn't talk to him. The quest is still active and there's a small arrow over his head, but I can't do anything about it.
Anyone know the cause or fix for this? Shall I push him off the cliff?
I used to play adventure games, then I took an arrow to the knee.

L4L, thanks. It was the dragons that were doing it. And I have to say I'm awfully annoyed that a college full of allegedly powerful mages couldn't help one tiny thief fend off a dragon attack, with just a bow and arrow no less.
Sayyy, has anyone here ever captured a dragon soul in a gem? Is it even possible? I have a very useful longbow...
I've piled up about 75 quests, and I suppose I'd better start completing them. But I do have question - what is the main quest? I lost track of it a long time ago (reminding me of my first Morrowind outing).

Hagatha, the main quest is the one at the Greybeards....learning about being dragon born...or so I think. I don't think you can capture a dragon soul in a gem because you need those to activate your shouts when you learn them the first time.

Hey guys. Can anyone tell me how to put a mod in my Skyrim folder? I think I'd found this out last month but lost my notes and since I found a new mod tonight, I really want to install it but since we're using Steam, I'm not sure how. Thanks and hope you all are having a great time with this! Tracy
